| Opmerkingen |
The 1929 series marked a deliberate moment of national self-definition for interwar Lithuania, and the choice of Vytautas the Great as the central figure was politically loaded. Vytautas died in 1430 without being crowned king — blocked at the last moment by Polish intervention — and remained a powerful symbol of Lithuanian ambition and thwarted sovereignty in the nationalist imagination of the 1920s.
Bradbury Wilkinson produced the plate work in London to a high standard, as was consistent with their output for smaller European states seeking to signal monetary credibility through print quality. The series is generally well-regarded by collectors for the engraving.
